Hey Connecticut, our backs hurt

Oh boy.

 

Looks like someone, or something stocked up for the winter.

 

Little Bear, I hope

 

It's a NEX 4100. Crutchfield confirmed there is no way to power off without turning off the vehicle so I asked about an inline switch. They sent me a link to this switch on Amazon and I found my wire harness also. Trying to figure out if the colors are standard or not. Like is black ground, red accessory and yellow 12v? Which wire would be appropriate for the switch, ground or 12v?

Swapped out my rear bumper. 2020 TRD PRO , bumper is in like new condition, corners were wrapped. All sensors and harness included. Backup sensors are 280$ each, comes with four. Blindside radar sensors 2, 1 in each corner worth 1,200$ each. Tow hitch, license platelights. Bumper is ready to go, plug in and drive. Never had any issues or incidents. Asking for$2,800.

 

Have to have a look when I get home

 

Yup. They were great, my caster, not so great. I was really hoping to be able to get more out of it but it looks like I'm going to have to get UCA's and then have them try again. It'll be a while before I have the $700 for those.

 

Watcha going with?

 

Yup, I dug up the manual and it seems the case as well. I have a single DIN Pioneer that can turn on/off but yours is a little more fancy

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Friday.

 

Here's the manual: https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/AVH-4000NEX_OwnersManual011714.pdf (read page 67 for wiring colors)

There is a firmware update but I'm not sure it will fix his issue.

Here is where the switch should be wired. The switch is rated for 5 amps. If the radio draws more than that you will need to add a relay.

 

That's the best thing I've heard all week.

Happy Friday folks
Hoping to power rake and get fertilizer down in front and side yard today before the rain. New patio table and chairs came yesterday, like to get those assembled in the garage

 

Morning Connecticut

 

It's also possible that whoever installed the radio got the yellow and red wires reversed.

 

If just turning the vehicle on and off "fixes it", the switch can go in the red wire that gets ignition/acc power too.

 

Thanks Harry. So I'm going to be cutting the red wire....... tick tick tick tick .................snip..... BOOOOOM.

 

I haven't researched too much yet but the guy at Little Bear (who has seen dozens of them) said the SPC ones are his recommendation. He said there's room to add more caster but it'll put the camber too far into the positive zone. I'd rather not add caster at the UCA because it'll move the tire back in the wheelwell and increase possible contact with the body or cab mount. If I can get a UCA that adds a little positive caster and a little negative camber that'd be ideal because he can then add caster at the bottom. I'm kinda surprised no one offers an offset bushing set for the stock LCA. That way you could add some caster without having moving the tire back like you do when messing with the UCA. I'll be going down the control arm rabbit hole this weekend I guess.
